Earnings per Share1 (EPS) for the second quarter of 2011 was $0.37, a 19.4% increase from the $0.31 reported in the second quarter of 2010. Excluding NBCUniversal transaction and related costs and a $137 million non-cash, non-recurring income tax charge resulting from a state tax law change, EPS increased 27.3% to $0.42 compared to $0.33 in the second quarter of 2010 (see Table 4).

EPS for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $0.70, a 12.9% increase from the $0.62 reported in the prior year. Excluding the items noted above, EPS for the six months ended June 30, 2011 increased 20.3% to $0.77 compared to $0.64 in 2010 (see Table 4).

Free Cash Flow (excluding any impact from the Economic Stimulus packages) increased 12.2% to $1.5 billion in the second quarter of 2011 compared to $1.4 billion in last year’s second quarter. The increase in free cash flow primarily reflects growth in consolidated operating cash flow, partially offset by increases in working capital, cash interest expense and capital expenditures. Free cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2011 increased 15.4% to $3.7 billion compared to $3.2 billion in 2010.

Share Repurchases and Dividends. During the second quarter of 2011, Comcast repurchased 22.6 million of its common shares for $525 million. Year-to-date, Comcast has repurchased 45.9 million of its common shares for $1.1 billion. As of June 30, 2011, Comcast had approximately $1.1 billion of availability remaining under its share repurchase authorization. In addition, during the second quarter of 2011, Comcast paid dividends totaling $311 million.

Pro Forma Financial Results

 

Pro forma results are presented as if the NBCUniversal transaction, which closed on January 28, 2011, was effective on January 1, 2010. These results are based on historical results of operations, adjusted for the effects of acquisition accounting and eliminating the costs and expenses directly related to the transaction, and are not necessarily indicative of what the results would have been had Comcast operated NBCUniversal since January 1, 2010. These adjustments are subject to change as acquisition accounting is finalized (see Table 5 for reconciliations of pro forma financial information).

Consolidated Pro Forma Revenue increased 9.4% to $14.3 billion compared to $13.1 billion in the second quarter of 2010. Consolidated Pro Forma Operating Cash Flow increased 6.7% to $4.8 billion compared to $4.5 billion in last year’s second quarter. Included in pro forma operating cash flow for the second quarter of 2011 are acquisition-related accounting revisions and costs totaling $131 million. Excluding these costs, pro forma operating cash flow increased 9.6% (see Table 6).

Revenue. For the second quarter of 2011, Cable revenue increased 5.6% to $9.3 billion compared to $8.8 billion in the second quarter of 2010. This increase was driven by a 10.3% increase in high-speed internet revenue and a 41.7% increase in business services revenue. Advertising revenue increased 3.7%, reflecting a slowdown in automotive advertising and lower political advertising in the second quarter of 2011. Monthly average total revenue per video customer increased 8.9% to $137.51, reflecting a growing number of residential customers taking multiple products, rate adjustments and a higher contribution from business services.

Operating Cash Flow. For the second quarter of 2011, Cable operating cash flow increased 6.8% to $3.9 billion compared to $3.6 billion in last year’s second quarter, primarily reflecting continued operational efficiencies, partially offset by increases in video programming and marketing expenses. This quarter’s operating cash flow margin was 41.6% compared to 41.2% in the second quarter of 2010.

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, Cable operating cash flow increased 7.2% to $7.6 billion compared to $7.1 billion in 2010. Year-to-date operating cash flow margin was 41.4% compared to 40.9% in 2010.

increases in the licensing of owned content from the cable production studio. Operating cash flow increased 1.1% to $846 million compared to $837 million in the second quarter of 2010, reflecting higher revenue, partially offset by increased investment in original programming and higher marketing expenses to support the launch of new programming across a number of its cable networks. In addition, operating cash flow includes acquisition-related accounting revisions totaling $48 million. Excluding these accounting revisions, Cable Networks operating cash flow increased 6.8% to $894 million (see Table 6).

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, revenue from the Cable Networks segment increased 13.0% to $4.2 billion compared to $3.7 billion in 2010. Operating cash flow increased 4.0% to $1.7 billion compared to $1.6 billion in the first six months of 2010. Excluding acquisition-related accounting revisions, operating cash flow increased 7.1% to $1.7 billion (see Table 6).

Broadcast Television

For the second quarter of 2011, revenue from the Broadcast Television segment increased 18.5% to $1.7 billion compared to $1.4 billion in the second quarter of 2010, reflecting higher advertising revenue from improved pricing and ratings at the NBC broadcast network, as well as higher content licensing revenue that includes the immediate recognition of revenue related to prior season and library content under a new licensing agreement. Second quarter operating cash flow increased 8.8% to $190 million compared to $175 million in the second quarter of 2010, primarily reflecting higher revenue, partially offset by continuing investment in network programming and higher news coverage costs. In addition, operating cash flow includes acquisition-related accounting revisions totaling $56 million. Excluding these accounting revisions, Broadcast Television operating cash flow increased 40.8% to $246 million (see Table 6).

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, revenue from the Broadcast Television segment decreased 13.1% to $3.0 billion compared to $3.5 billion in 2010 due to $782 million of revenue generated by the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. Excluding the impact of the Olympics, revenue increased 11.8%. Operating cash flow was $210 million compared to a loss of $7 million in the first six months of 2010. Excluding the $223 million loss from the Olympics and acquisition-related accounting revisions, operating cash flow increased 23.2% to $266 million (see Table 6).

Filmed Entertainment

For the second quarter of 2011, revenue from the Filmed Entertainment segment increased 21.0% to $1.3 billion compared to $1.0 billion in the second quarter of 2010, driven by higher theatrical revenue from the strong box office performance of Fast Five and Bridesmaids, partially offset by lower content licensing and home entertainment revenue. Second quarter operating cash flow was $27 million compared to $4 million in the second quarter of 2010, reflecting strong revenue growth, partially offset by higher marketing for current quarter and upcoming theatrical releases. In addition, second quarter 2011 operating cash flow includes acquisition-related accounting revisions totaling $20 million (see Table 6).

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, revenue from the Filmed Entertainment segment increased 6.3% to $2.2 billion compared to $2.1 billion in 2010. Operating cash flow was a loss of $119 million compared to a loss of $8 million in the first six months of 2010.

Theme Parks

Theme Parks segment revenue includes the results of Universal Hollywood, management fees from Universal Orlando and international licensing fees. Operating cash flow includes the results of Universal Hollywood and the equity income (loss) from Universal Orlando, which is eliminated from total NBCUniversal operating cash flow through NBCUniversal Headquarters, Other and Eliminations.

For the second quarter of 2011, revenue from the Theme Parks segment increased 22.5% to $147 million compared to $120 million in the second quarter of 2010, reflecting the strong performance at the Hollywood park and higher fees from the Orlando parks. Second quarter operating cash flow was $119 million compared to $46 million in the same period last year. Second quarter 2011 operating cash flow includes $53 million of equity income from Universal Orlando compared to $2 million in last year’s second quarter, driven by the strength of The Wizarding World of Harry PotterTM attraction.

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, revenue from the Theme Parks segment increased 19.9% to $242 million compared to $202 million in 2010. Operating cash flow was $160 million compared to $41 million in the first six months of 2010.

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, non-recurring transaction-related costs totaled $98 million.

Corporate, Other and Eliminations

For the second quarter of 2011, Corporate and Other revenue and eliminations were ($187) million compared to ($163) million in 2010, reflecting a lower contribution from Comcast-Spectacor and higher intersegment eliminations. The operating cash flow loss was $86 million compared to a loss of $92 million for the same time period in 2010, reflecting lower corporate overhead.

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, Corporate and Other revenue and eliminations were ($330) million compared to ($354) million in 2010. The operating cash flow loss was $164 million compared to a loss of $181 million in the first six months of 2010.

In this discussion, we sometimes refer to financial measures that are not presented according to generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (GAAP). Certain of these measures are considered “non-GAAP financial measures” under the SEC regulations; those rules require the supplemental explanations and reconciliations that are in Comcast’s Form 8-K (Quarterly Earnings Release) furnished to the SEC.

Pro Forma information is presented as if the NBCUniversal transaction occurred January 1, 2010. This information is based on historical results of operations, adjusted for the effects of acquisition accounting and eliminating the costs and expenses directly related to the transaction, and is not necessarily indicative of what the results would have been had we operated the businesses since January 1, 2010. Pro forma adjustments have been made for the purpose of providing pro forma financial information based on current estimates and currently available information, and are subject to revision based on final determinations of fair value and the final allocation of purchase price to the assets and liabilities of the businesses acquired.
